UD to Begin Taking Orders Wolverine Motorcycle Suit, Produced Under License from Marvel, in Late April

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada – April 5, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Super Heroes are coming to the real world in spectacular new ways thanks to two new creations in development by UD Replicas under license from Marvel Entertainment, LLC.

UD Replicas unveiled a stunning Wolverine Motorcycle Suit – including leather jacket, pants and gloves as seen in X2: X-MEN UNITED – during Wizard World Toronto Comic-Con, and orders will be accepted online at www.udreplicas.com in late April.

“Wolverine has one of the sleekest, most amazing suits you can imagine, and what we’re creating is as close to the real thing as you could possibly get,” said David Pea, owner of UD Replicas, the officially licensed division of Universal Designs Ltd. “This is a project we’ve been working on for a long time, and it has taken literally hundreds of hours to get it right – but the end result is truly stunning and we hope fans will love it.”

To ensure precise detail, Marvel provided UD Replicas with access to the Wolverine suit worn on

screen in X2: X-MEN UNITED. To create the jacket, gloves and pants, UD Replicas is utilizing four different types of leather, which are hand-worked into an intricately faithful replica of the on-screen suit. Each X2 Wolverine Motorcycle Suit also incorporates removable CE-approved body armor; gloves with built-in, anti-skid Kevlar in the palm’s leather lining; and an interior, form-molded muscle suit sandwiched into the jacket’s torso section.

Pea continued, “No matter who you are, when you put it on and zip it up, you look like a Super Hero.”

Under its multi-title license with Marvel, UD Replicas also announced today that it is in development on an extraordinary leather replica of Tony Stark’s Mark V Suitcase Suit that will be seen in Marvel’s eagerly anticipated IRON MAN 2, which will be released in the U.S. on May 7.

“We’re putting our creative senses to work like we’ve never done before,” Pea said. “We’re going to mold and shape the leather to replicate the beautiful bevels and hard angles of the Mark V suit. We’re making the leather look like metal, and doing things we never thought would be possible.”

UD Replicas is working furiously on its motorcycle-suit version of the IRON MAN 2 Mark V Suitcase Suit, which it plans to unveil in time for the film’s debut.
